2020 US General Election Thread XI: Is It Over Yet?

[Tyrassueb]

Trump has gained over 2,000,000 new voters from 2016.

What the fuck Dems lol

To be fair, the Dems also gained something like 2-3 million new voters from 2016 and millions of votes are still out to be counted.

[Vapormancer]

Ah yes, the man who lectured us on America bullying China then had to live through the Chinese terror has any right to complain about living in a little world. The callousness and causalness with which you dismiss populations because they won’t go along with really stunning. Now you’re back peddling but thank you for being arrogant enough to say the quiet part out loud for us all to hear.

Dial it back; now.

There will be other threads where you can both make a stand on this, but not this one; not today, please.

Absolutely, out of respect I will goose him on this another day and in another place.

[Weed]

Oh fuck is this what I wake up to.

Fun isn't it? PR votes for statehood, and the Republicans actually don't lose much in Congress and Trump's looking increasingly likely to stay...so those poor people will be ignored.

PR cannot afford to pay federal income tax, its economy would be crushed overnight unless the US wrote them a check for dozens of billions of dollars to pay down their debt.

PR is not going to become a state regardless of which party has the whitehouse or senate. It is just fun to talk about. DC has a far greater chance.

[Dakran]

He can't stop it alone, these outstanding votes are in and according to state law need to be counted.

Everyone knew he would do this and have prepared likewise.

He can stop it with SCotUS' help though.

And guess what party SCotUS is a shill of now.

Ideally we could trust them to uphold the law and not the whims of someone who clearly doesn't understand how this works, but yet here we are, not sure that would happen.

[Shrillland]

When is another state going to give a result?

Well, Milwaukee County, WI, is going to give us an early vote dump at about 5 ET. That will likely determine the winner there. If Trump still leads, it's more or less over.

What the fuck Dems lol

Dems: "lets put republicans at the DNC"
Reps: "We'll just get new people"

Tom Perez needs to be dismissed for chronic incompetence


Anyone notice how Trump ran an objectively shitty campaign and then...this?

[Valrifell]

Why do you want to watch a young man weep, Kowani?

And here I thought we were comrades smh

Dems currently only have 1 million new votes, probably closer to 1.5-1.7 when all is said and done imo.

This is a very poor showing.

[Grand Indochina]

When is another state going to give a result?

I heard that they are “temporary stop counting” until tomorrow morning.

Yes, because that's why the GOP push through Amy so quickly.

To uphold impartiality and the rule of the law.

Your leftist card was revoked when you did not sufficiently condemn Nate Silver.

if you ain't voting for me, you ain't Black!

given that the GOP agenda for the country appears to be "drugs, decay, and failure" dressed up in bombast and short skirts and with a side of corrupt kleptocratic side arrangements with foreign dictatorships like your beloved Sublime Porte, and that your particular brand of conservative nativist cynicism has helped enable the kind of proto-fascist attitudes that have fueled their rise to power, you're not really in a position to be lecturing anyone abt any of this shit either

They offer something that is a substitute for a positive vision, causing people like Bombadil pain. You’re right, it only leads somewhere very dark and negative. Too bad we keep blowing up the good options because it makes Goldman Sachs feel sad!

Your calculus thus far appears to have been that a "substitute for a positive vision," even if it's actually worse for the country and the world in both the long and short run than the admittedly bankrupt moral-political vacuum of Dem-aligned capital, is desirable simply because it's more interesting to shitpost about, and fuck whoever may get smashed in the process

He ran a shitty campaign but he did the basics. Trump people were door knocking all the time in my area. The Democrat ground game wasn’t there. Trumps people were registering new voters like mad in WI. The Democrats were sending me texts for a state I didn’t live in for 7 years, bad data tbh combined zero traditional campaign things. Very mediocre if Trumps trash campaign wins.

It's interesting how unhelpful those needles have been throughout the night.

Yes sorry the state of Georgia, not uncle george.

Im not sure how George tilts, i heard maybe Jeb but i dont know if he was mocking me or being serious

Sorry, did you miss the deadly respiratory virus sweeping thousands from the Earth on a daily basis? That's not a point in his favor that's fucking criminal lol

On the rest of it we agree the Dems ran a shit campaign

George is the dude in my neighborhood with an actual Trump flag on his truck, I don't see that happening.

...The irony here is that they had the Bernie campaign's voter data and then fucking squandered it

But also, you know...pandemic

that's not just irrational, that's consciously acting in bad faith on political questions that will define the fate of the species and the rest of your own life.
